Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 8am in seoul, where the head of the us military, generaljoseph dunford, is getting ready for talks on north Koreas Nuclear and missile threats.

On the Pacific Island of guam, people turned out in large numbers on sunday to pray for peace. They are now potentially in the firing line as the stand off between the us and north korea continues. Pyongyang has threatened to fire missiles toward this island which is home to major us military bases. Were here to pray for the leaders of those countries to remain calm and think about the people and the lives of the people we have here. In japan, anti Aircraft Systems were deployed at the weekend to shoot down any north korean missiles aimed at guam. This area of Southern Japan would lie on the flight path. This is the most serious crisis in the region since the end of the korean war in the 1950s, according to some military experts. There is a real risk by miscalculation probably more than anything else and by rather unbalanced rhetoric of something happening that no one intends and i think it is very dangerous, i think we are closer to there being some sort of fighting in the Korean Peninsula than we have been since the ceasefire in 1952. Despite this, us President Donald Trump is not toning down his rhetoric, including his recent statement that the us military was locked and loaded. I hope that they are going to fully understand the gravity of what i said and what i said is what i mean so hopefully they will understand exactly what i said and the meaning of those words, those words are very easy to understand. On monday, the United States most senior general, joseph dunford, will be in the south korean capital seoul for meetings with the government there.

But tensions are likely to rise even higher in a weeks time when yet more planned military exercises involving the us and south Korean Armed Forces take place in the region. Another show of force to try to convince north korea to halt its Nuclear Weapons programme.

Well have a full report later in the programme on pakistans independence day. The white house has defended President Trumps response to the violence in Charlottesville Virginia after the biggest gathering of White Nationalist groups in america for decades. It says he had condemned all extremist groups. A 20 year old man has now been charged with murder after a car was driven into a woman who was part of a demonstration against the far right rally. Laura bicker reports from charlottesville. After a violent day of division, charlottesville has come together to pray, to show that this city condemns the hate brought here by neo nazis and White Supremacists. The Virginia Governor went from row to row, Hugging Worshippers in this baptist church. He promise to keep politics out of the pulpit but there was a message he felt he had to give. Promised. It is about politics in that the political rhetoric in this country today has bred bigotry. Hundreds of White Supremacists gathered in the city yesterday for a planned rally. Rioting broke out as far right groups including the ku klux klan were challenged by civil rights activists. The police dispersed the crowds, but the day would not end peacefully. A car, at speed, rammed into protesters. The crash killed 32 year old heather heyer, who had fought racism all her life. Police have charged 20 year old james fields with Second Degree murder. One of the organisers of the far right rally tried to hold a press co nfe re nce but he was heckled. I would like to condemn any of the violence yesterday. I disavow anything that led to folks getting hurt. Shame as the crowd shouted him down, he tried to leave. But instead he was forced to flee. Police moved in to keep the protesters back. These people feel that bigotry has no place in the streets of charlottesville, but this could be any town, any city across america. Its an example of the simmering racial tension, and thats become heightened under President Trump. The president stopped short of explicitly condemning the alt right for these violent scenes, and some fear that having donald trump in the white house has emboldened White Supremacists. It is important for us to call these people what they are, White Supremacists. I dont understand why that is difficult. That is what they are. They are not hiding this behind the statue, they did not come here because of a statue, they came here, as david duke said, to fulfil the promise of President Trump and take their country back. Calm has been restored for now, giving the city time to remember those who lost their lives while challenging hate and trying to keep the peace. Laura bicker, charlottesville.
